Why This Cat Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A Cat study built on a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward, fur rendered in overlapping short strokes across the flank and chest. The palette stays in warm greys and soft browns with bright eye highlights against a tonal background, and the piece keeps a calm and companionable register throughout. Cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it. It fits anyone who wants a handmade set without the upkeep ceramics demand. Designed for bedrooms and home offices, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD570. cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it. That is the part that matters most here.
cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it. That makes it straightforward to place in bedrooms and home offices, where the calm tone already fits.
A DOTZSO kit is designed so the making is restful and the finished piece earns its place in the room. Alongside the canvas you get DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.
What makes this a working set rather than a display piece is underneath – a cork backing that takes the moisture before it reaches the furniture.
Matched drills across all 8 pieces mean the set looks deliberate when stacked or spread out.

How to Make It
- Unroll the canvas on a flat surface and let it settle under something weighted if it has been rolled tight.
- Find the legend strip and match the first symbol to its drill colour.
- Press the pen tip into the wax caddy, then touch it to a drill – the drill lifts and stays on the tip.
- Set the drill onto the matching printed symbol and press lightly. Work one coaster at a time rather than moving across the whole set.
- Complete all coasters, then press each finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Finally, leave the set on the table for a few hours before first use so the drills settle fully.
Finish the set at an easy pace, then leave it on the table rather than boxing it up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this coaster set contain the full Cat project?
Yes. The Cat coaster set ships complete with the stand shown in the product images, so the coasters have somewhere to live when they are not in use, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference BD570.
Are the drills on the Cat design likely to come loose?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Cat design holds under normal use. The cork-backed base is what stops condensation reaching the table, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. Coverage on the Cat face does not degrade with use.
Is there anything I should not use on the Cat coaster set?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not submerge them or put them through a dishwasher — the adhesive layer under the drills is not built for a soak. For the Cat palette, warm greys and soft browns tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. The Cat surface asks for very little upkeep.
How dense is the drilling on the Cat design?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Cat artwork is drawn so that a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward reads clearly at any distance. The Cat drilling runs the full extent of the face.
What time should I set aside for the Cat coaster set?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Cat design is calm and companionable, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Work it a colour at a time and the Cat piece moves quickly.
What skill level does the Cat coaster set require?
Yes. The symbol key is printed directly on the cork-backed base and the pictorial instructions walk through the whole process, so no prior diamond painting experience is needed. The Cat layout is calm and companionable, which helps on a first attempt. The pack has everything for the project.

Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. Each one took me a lazy afternoon to finish, quicker than I expected. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. Very pleased with how it came together. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Can’t wait to start the next one.
SunroomDIY (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. Very happy with this purchase.

Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. Really happy with the end result. Still a solid purchase.

Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. Can’t wait to start the next one.
Jessica M. (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. The fall subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Anita G. (verified owner) –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Overall a good experience.
Denise H. (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.

I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. The cork backing is properly attached, not just glued on the edges. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. They’ve survived a house full of guests without a mark. Happy with this one.

Arrived well packed and ready to start. The adhesive held well across several weeks of working on it. I find it relaxing to just follow the chart and let my mind wander. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.

Teddy Floyd (verified owner) –
These are the first coasters I’ve made and I’m sold on the format. The edges are smooth, so nothing catches on a cloth when I wipe them. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Still glad I ordered it overall.

My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Would definitely buy again.

These are my favorite style of kit to give away. Each coaster is a solid, even thickness with no warping. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Natalie Peterson (verified owner) –
I saw this on the shop page and couldn’t talk myself out of it. Cork on the bottom stops condensation from sticking them down. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. I’d recommend it to a friend.

I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Cork on the bottom stops condensation from sticking them down. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
